A review on the technigues of controlling fumonisin production by Fusarium

Several species of fumonisin-producing Fusarium infect a wide range of food and cash crops,adversely affect international trade and the economy,and have harmful effects on human and animal health. Many techniques for controlling fumonisin production,including physical,chemical and biological controls have been developed. Finding the methods that are conducive to sustainable development and ecologically sound prevention and treatment has always been concerned by researchers. Among the methods,biological control has attracted more attention and has received more research for its environmental friendliness. The main research direction of this method is biological control by microorganisms,and prevention and control through genetically engineered breeding. This article mainly focuses on the main techniques for the control of fumonisin production in pre-harvest and post-harvest years( mainly including biocontrol by microorganisms,genetically engineered breeding,physical adsorbents,biotransformation and other technologies).
